PROGRAMMING THE GARAGE

DOOR OPENER TO YOUR GATE

OPENER MOTOR

Gate Operator / Canadian

Programming

Canadian radio-frequency laws require
transmitter signals to “time-out” (or quit)
after several seconds of transmission –
which may not be long enough for
HomeLink to pick up the signal during
programming. Similar to this Canadian law,
some U.S. gate operators “time-out” in the
same manner.

Note:

If programming a garage door opener

or gate operator, it is advised to unplug the
device during the “cycling” process to
prevent possible overheating.

1.

Press and release, every two seconds,
your hand-held transmitter until the
HomeLink indicator light changes to a
rapidly blinking or continuously on light.

2. Release the hand-held transmitter

button.

3. Press and hold the HomeLink function

button you want to program for two
seconds, then release. You may need
to do this twice to activate the door.

Note:

If the indicator light stays on, the

programming is complete.

Note:

If the HomeLink indicator flashes

rapidly, repeat Step 3.

Note:

If your device still does not operate,

you must program your garage door. See

STARTING AND STOPPING

THE ENGINE – PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

Extended idling at high

engine speeds can produce very high
temperatures in the engine and exhaust
system, creating the risk of fire or other
damage.

WARNING:

Do not park, idle or

drive your vehicle on dry grass or other
dry ground cover. The emission system
heats up the engine compartment and
exhaust system, creating the risk of fire.

fluid, for example ether, in the air intake
system. Such fluid could cause
immediate explosive damage to the
engine and possible personal injury.

WARNING:

Exhaust leaks may

result in entry of harmful and potentially
lethal fumes into the passenger
compartment. If you smell exhaust
fumes inside your vehicle, have your
vehicle inspected immediately. Do not
drive if you smell exhaust fumes.

The powertrain control system meets all
Canadian interference-causing equipment
standard requirements regulating the
impulse electrical field or radio noise.

ENGINE BLOCK HEATER

(IF

EQUIPPED)

ENGINE BLOCK HEATER

PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

Failure to follow engine

block heater instructions could result in
property damage or serious personal
injury.

WARNING:

Do not use your heater

with ungrounded electrical systems or
two-pronged adapters. There is a risk of
electrical shock.

WARNING:

Do not fully close the

hood, or allow it to drop under its own
weight when using the engine block
heater. This could damage the power
cable and may cause an electrical short
resulting in fire, injury and property
damage.

We recommend that you do the following
for a safe and correct operation:

•

Use a 16-gauge outdoor extension cord
that is product certified by
Underwriter’s Laboratory (UL) or
Canadian Standards Association
(CSA). This extension cord must be
suitable for use outdoors, in cold
temperatures, and be clearly marked
Suitable for Use with Outdoor
Appliances. Do not use an indoor
extension cord outdoors. This could
result in an electric shock or become a
fire hazard.

•

Use as short an extension cord as
possible.

•

Do not use multiple extension cords.

•

Make sure that when in operation, the
extension cord plug and engine block
heater cord plug connections are free
and clear of water. This could cause an
electric shock or fire.

•

If the engine block heater cord is under
the hood, do not remove the wiring
from its original location. Do not close
the hood on the extension wiring.

•

Park your vehicle in a clean area, clear
of combustible materials.

•

Firmly connect the engine block heater
cord and the extension cord.

•

Check the extension cord for heat
anywhere when the system has been
operating for approximately 30
minutes.

•

Unplug and properly stow the system
before starting and driving your vehicle.
The protective cover seals the
terminals of the engine block heater
cord plug when not in use.

•

Check the engine block heater system
for proper operation before winter.

HOW DOES THE ENGINE BLOCK

HEATER WORK

The engine block heater warms the engine
coolant. This allows the climate control
system to quickly respond. The equipment
includes a heater element installed in the
engine block and a wire harness. You can
connect the system to a grounded
220-240 volt AC electrical source.

Note:

The engine block heater is most

effective when outdoor temperatures are
below 0°F (-18°C).

USING THE ENGINE BLOCK

HEATER

Make sure the receptacle terminals are
clean and dry prior to use. Clean them with
a dry cloth if necessary.

174

Starting and Stopping the Engine

The heater uses 0.4 to 1.0 kilowatt-hours
of energy per hour of use. The system does
not have a thermostat. It achieves
maximum temperature after
approximately three hours of operation.
Using the engine block heater longer than
three hours does not improve system
performance and unnecessarily uses
electricity.

Starting and Stopping the Engine

STARTING AND STOPPING THE

ENGINE – FREQUENTLY ASKED

QUESTIONS

Why is the engine idle speed high when

I am starting the engine?

The speed at which the engine idles
immediately after starting is optimized
to minimize vehicle emissions and
maximize cabin comfort and fuel
economy.

Why does the engine not crank?

You can only attempt to start the
engine for a limited amount of time
before the starting system temporarily
disables. If you exceed the starting
time limit, a message may appear and
you cannot attempt to start the engine
for at least 15 minutes.

Why do I experience different driving

characteristics?

If you disconnect the battery, your
vehicle may exhibit some unusual
driving characteristics for
approximately 5 mi (8 km) after you
reconnect it. This is because the engine
management system must realign
itself with the engine. You can
disregard any unusual driving
characteristics during this period.

Why can I not start the engine?

If you cannot start the engine after 3
attempts, wait 10 seconds and do the
following:

Starting and Stopping the Engine

WHAT IS A HYBRID ELECTRIC

VEHICLE

A hybrid vehicle has an electric motor and
a high voltage battery combined with a
gasoline engine.

HOW DOES A HYBRID

ELECTRIC VEHICLE WORK

The hybrid vehicle combines electric and
gasoline propulsion to provide optimal
performance and improved efficiency.

HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE

DRIVING CHARACTERISTICS

The gasoline engine starts and stops to
provide power when required and to save
fuel when not needed. When coasting at
low speeds, coming to a stop or standing,
the gas engine normally shuts down and
your vehicle operates in electric-only
mode.

Conditions that may cause the gasoline
engine to start or remain running include:

•

Considerable vehicle acceleration.

•

Driving uphill.

•

The high voltage battery charge level
is low.

•

Heating or cooling the vehicle interior
in high or low outside temperatures.

•

The gasoline engine is below normal
operating temperature.

•

Towing a trailer.

•

Certain selectable drive modes could
cause the engine to run. See

Selecting

a Drive Mode

(page 257).

Your hybrid vehicle also comes with
standard hydraulic braking and
regenerative braking. Regenerative braking
is performed by your transmission and
captures brake energy and stores it in the
high voltage battery.

You could also notice that your engine
continues to run instead of shutting off
during extended downhill driving. The
engine stays on during this engine braking
but is not using any fuel.

You could also hear a slight whine or
whistle when operating your vehicle. This
is the normal operation of the electric
motor in the hybrid system.

HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE

INDICATORS

E293827

When you start your vehicle, a
green READY indicator light
appears in the instrument cluster

letting you know that your vehicle is ready
for driving.

The engine may not start because your
vehicle has a silent key start feature. This
fuel saving feature allows your vehicle to
be ready to drive without requiring the gas
engine to be running.

The indicator remains on when your vehicle
is on, whether the engine is running or not,
to indicate your vehicle is capable of
movement using the electric motor, gas
engine or both.

Typically, the engine does not start unless
the vehicle is cold, a climate control
change is requested or you press the
accelerator pedal.
